According to court records, Edwards was one of two men who kicked open the door of a home in the 8500 block of Everett and threatened the homeowner. After taking cash, the men fled and drove away as the homeowner fired shots.

Police said they found the car marked with bullet holes. The driver of the car told officers he had been given $20 to drive the two men to the house.

On Wednesday, the homeowners told investigators that the two men kept asking for someone who didn't live at the house.
